Talking Coastal Command books, if you can find it, and its very hard too, I'd recommend Gathering of Demons by Kim Abbott, geat account of RCAF aircrew serving in the Command, a lot of his recollections in the book were from the squadrons time at North Coatss and Bircham Newton.

What a great rabbit hole to dive into! You're welcome, James! Hope you get hooked on the story of the command like I did!

Thank you Phil, very kind of you to say.

Hope your PhD work goes well!

Thank you! That means an awful lot to hear that, greatly appreciated

Thank you! It was so great to be asked to come on, had a lot of fun!

It's great, isn't it? I bet they never advertised this additional function of a Gladiator 😂

To go alongside this iconic Gladiator, we have another! (Taken at Bircham Newton's Satellite airfield, Docking) Flying Officer J.B Gordon using his Gladiator as a washing line!

Think we need to make one with the small number of Norfolk IC there seems to be!
